Superior
equipment doesn't automatically assure superior sound.
The way the system is designed and the way it works with
the building is just as important. The Modeler design
program can help design major features of the sound system
before any equipment is installed. With this technology,
our sound engineers carefully create an acoustical model
of the facility, and ensure that the design reduces unwanted
echoes, excessive reverberation, and acoustic hot and
cold spots.
A comprehensive approach to the acoustical behavior of
sound systems.
The Modeler design program helps Bose sound designers
predict the behavior of sound systems in any kind of facility.
Proper speaker placement is a science.
With the proprietary Bose Modeler program, any number
of speakers can be visually placed in a computerized
room model of any size or shape. The program allows
speakers to be aimed, moved, turned on or off, amplified,
and for time delay values to be set. It also takes into
account the acoustical properties of the surface materials
to be used in the venue. All of this can be accomplished
from architectural plans -- the building doesn't even
have to exist.
Everything affects sound.
With the Modeler program, our engineers can also program
in -- and see the results of-- obstructions and reflections.
They can even explore how the number of people in the
facility affects the sound.
Obstruction occurs when surfaces such as balconies
and overhangs block the sound. Reflections, when managed
properly, add spaciousness and ambiance.
But when uncontrolled, they create annoying echoes.
Even the audience affects sound quality because fewer
people in the stands expose more of the hard surfaces,
increasing reverberation.

All these factors are programmed into the Modeler software
and changes can be seen before any equipment is installed.
For an even more accurate prediction of the venue's
sound, the Modeler program's output is then exported
to our award-winning Auditioner® audio demonstrator,
which allows you to actually hear the simulated sound.We
use Modeler design program technology worldwide, in
a variety of large venue applications.
